The leadinstructor for the course organized the approximately 10 review sessions and determined whichknowledge area(s) would be covered that particular week. Students met once a week for twohours to go over the assigned knowledge area(s). Ideally, the faculty member who recorded thevideo segments came to the class that week and reviewed areas that students struggled with andanswered questions. This pairing of self-directed video study with face-to-face classroom timeallowed the student to fully review the knowledge area and have any concerns resolved.Although this project was geared

This one-semester course is a requiredcomponent of a mechanical engineer’s curriculum and is offered each semester. Between 100 and130 students take the course in a semester. The typical class enrollment is about 80% male, 70%in-state students, 86% U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and 14% non-US residents. The

partner was great in explaining everything even though we rebuilt the second circuit 4 times. I was able to get a big refresher using circuit boards. [Name] also helped me learn how to translate a digital drawing to a circuit.Here are some student statements directly addressing their PPPL experience, either from the sideof the “peer teacher” pair(s) or the ones receiving help, “peer student” pairs.Peer Teachers: I learned several new methods of troubleshooting when helping my classmates. Once we finished our circuit, we had to assist other groups, and since no group built the circuit the same way, being able to navigate each component was difficult. By the last group, I was able to work through their
components and ensuring all the specs were correct. Figure 5: Base design The final aspect of the design process was to create our own custom-fit solar moduletransportation unit in a second wagon. We came up with the idea to cut notches into plywoodpieces to create “fingers” that would support the individual modules and keep them separatedduring transportation. The pieces of plywood would be held in place by shelf support brackets.Then, to ensure the stability of the modules we would secure 2×4’s around the perimeter of theplywood. The end 2×4 was designed with a wing nut to be able to open and close the back endto remove and replace the modules for use. Pipe insulation sleeves would be used to cushion

Thenthe students have a series of questions which ask the students to identify crucial pieces of thereading which would enable them to identify the ethical dilemma(s). For example, they may havebeen asked to discuss the viewpoint of a particular stakeholder or address a specificcounterargument to a character’s position. The questions then tie the reading to ethicalphilosophies and help students evaluate the story’s and character’s outcomes in a structured way.However, these questions assume no prior discussion of formal ethical frameworks, and thusavoid the formal terminology such as utiliatarian, deontology, etc.In this article, we have chosen three short stories which
